better control over Email Workflow with the new ability to customize all message content

it is easy to obtain PCI compliance if you charge for your API, because security for handling credit card data has been boosted.

We hope you enjoy exploring the new features and we would love to hear your feedback at support@3scale.net.

Email Templates

Every single email notification to both your developers as well as your admin users can now be customized to suit your unique workflow and desires. The Emails tab lists all potential emails, but many of them may not be used, depending on how your workflow is configured:

Change to Credit Card handling

If you use the automated 3scale billing module, you will soon see a change in the way in which credit card data is handled. In future all requests for users to submit credit card data will be redirected and handled directly by the interface belonging to your chosen payment gateway partner.

This will guarantee that no credit card data is stored in, or passes through any of your systems nor 3scale’s, and will boost the security of the billing system. Because of this it becomes a very simple process to claim your PCI compliance certification, and so avoid paying any surchages that your gateway provider may bill you for lack of compliance. If you would like our quick step guide to PCI compliance, please contact support@3scale.net.

This is it! Finally, sell all your things and buy a one-way ticket to a paradise island, robots will automate conversations with customers for you! Sounds like a dream? We are getting there, slowly, but the space is really promising […]
